Revision as of 13:26, 20 October 2014

Animals you can ride on are referred to as mounts. They can spawn all over the map from lairs, be bred or spawn on land such as steppe.

Riding

To ride an animal it must first of all lead by a rope (or any item if it's wearing a bridle). Many creatures will require taming or to be dominated or zombified before they can be led and mounted.

Activate a rope and use the

RMB on the creature, select Ride.

  • Body control determines which animals it is possible for the player to ride.
  • By default mounts are turned with

A and D.

  • The mount will turn sharply when stationary and will turn with a larger radius when moving.
  • Not all animals may be mounted, it maybe due to their status or age (too young or too old). In that case the message that the animal is too weak will appear.

Speed

The speed at which mounts move varies greatly. Some may only travel at a few km/h without any accessories whilst well bred horses with high quality accessories and traits may move up to 34 km/h. Paved roads do not affect the speed of animals. All mounts move at 1/3 of their speed when moving backwards.

Accessories

Certain animals may be equipped with accessories such as horse shoes, a bridle or a saddle to help increase their speed or prevent roaming. To equip an animal it first needs to be tamed or dominated.

Use the

RMB on the creature, select Look > Equipment and drag-drop the item to the relevant limb or body part.
